I think that the office administration staff this year has changed for the worse. The staff has a lack of attention to detail, has no courtesy for accomadating the parents schedule. I have encountered two occasions where my child was let out of school at a different time, not the regular early dismissal, and I had no notice of any kind to inform me of such a change. Instead I was told that the teacher or office staff failed to provide a letter that was "supposed" to go to parents.
